Can't wait for this. Loved Terraria, and this looks just as good or better. Lol at complaining about updates. I was stoked anytime I saw a Terraria update, but I got so many hours out of Terraria that any complaints would just be wishful thinking. The price these games are sold at is well worth it, even without any future updates.

I also do landscaping on weekends with some mexican kid that I "hired". He's real good because he's 100% obedient to me and does everything I say while never complaining. He knows that I am the man in the relationship and is completely submissive towards me as he should be.

Don't really see what the hubbub is about. Looks like Terraria with a fresh coat of paint. Why not just play Terraria, then?

Pretty much done everything possible in Terraria at this point in time, so a lot of us were hoping for future content, which we were told was never coming out. Starbound's got a lot more content in it already, without having officially launched yet, so it's a pretty tempting proposition.

However, now that Terraria updates are a reality, people probably will switch back to Terraria. Aside from creating goofy structures or works of art using the in-game blocks, there's not a huge amount to do once you have all the gear currently available.

You had me at 'Terraria in space'. Game looks promising. I hope we have some more solid information (like a release date) soon. Terraria was one of the best purchases I've ever made. In fact, I spent far more time with it than I ever did Minecraft and that is saying something. To know a similar game is being made that has much more depth is very intriguing.

This attitude makes me wonder... How long does a company have to provide free content updates to a budget priced game to appease the entitled masses?

Seriously...

I bought Terraria on sale for $5 back when there was only 1 end boss. They have added so much into this game and I still play it off and on. I dont think there has been a single $5 investment in my entire life that has been this good.

I will gladly throw them $10 even $15 in hopes for a product that packs even half of what they put into Terraria.

WAY more interesting. I mean I remember when I hit the bottom in minecraft. My first thought was that I needed to craft a better pick, but no thats the bottom.....

yeah I believe i got Terraria when it was onsale on steam and played it more than I did most AAA games and that includes the FREE content they gave us unlike any other game which nowadays would come with Day 1 DLC that easily should have been apart of the product, lol.

Really just wish someone would give a release date on Starbound and quit teasing.

There are so many idiots in this thread that don't know what they are talking about.

First of all Terraria was made by Redigit. He created and coded the whole game. He did have testers and spriters though. Tiy only helped Sprite some near the end of Terraria to help Red out. Also, Red stopped because the game was in a fairly well state and needed to deal with some personal life stuff. Lastly Terraria is going to be updated soon because, guess what? Red has come back because he does in fact love the community and the game and just needed to personal time. People need to check things out before they start bashing.

Starbound is being developed by Chucklefish Games and being lead by Tiy and is completely separate from terraria. The games themselves are actually similar, but Starbound will expand more with its game play than Terraria is currently. Both games are great, and hating on either is just ignorant.

Several games have used grappling hook/hookshot mechanics, though I'm not sure if there have been many where you can fire multiple anchors like that. It is a very well done concept in Terraria.

Yeah I am probably just remembering something similar but not exact from another platformer, but when you strategically relocate yourself to the bottom of those vents in the corruption and climb out by crawling with the whip, I am always overwhelmed with "I have done this before, not recently, well yes recently, actually 2 minutes ago, but I also remember doing it a long long time ago". It is like the worst feeling ever, even worse that it could just be my imagination.

I've seen Terraria on the Xbox live arcade for a while now. It sounded to me like a side scrolling Minecraft.

Could someone give me a quick run down of what the game is like? Also, Is terraria for Xbox Arcade only or PC/Mac as well? Is there a big difference between the two versions? (Please don't throw PC/Console general comments, just looking at this game particularly)

Thanks in advance to anyone who is kind enough to answer my questions.

Also Terraria was a heck lot more interesting than Minecraft seemed - 3D should be good graphics,. 2D can be excused at having low quality or pixel art. I wish people would understand that.

I personally love the charm of the 3D Large pixel shapes of Minecraft. If the game had amazing graphics, could you imagine the machine you would need to run it? I think they flat skins are what allows so much terrain and vast maps. If it had say the graphics of Battle Field, the game would be quite slow and annoying.
